    Heavy-for-caliber bullets in .223 WSSM

    SInce the WSSM's not very popular there's a general lack of load data especially for projectiles heavier than 70gr, so out of curiosity I put a 26" 1:8 barrel on a .223 WSSM to drive heavy .224s for my local steel matches. I already had everything but a reamer and I chamber my own barrels so...

    Anyone shooting the 7mm 180gr SMK? (what BC are you getting?)

    I saw this article here: Sierra 7mm 180gr MatchKing ? Yet Another Great F-Open Bullet « Daily Bulletin ...and see that they are comparing the BC of these bullets to the different 180 bergers. Does anyone shoot these? What BC are you getting? I've been using them in a 7WSM and the drop...

    Can't find ammunition? Go another route: Big Bore Switch Barrel.

    With long range components being hard to find and overpriced, making precision shooting difficult, I've been looking into other ways to have fun. With large caliber cast/swaged bullets in a switch barrel setup you can again use your gorified paperweight to make noise. In my case, I set myself...

    7mm WSSM (a 7WSM switch-barrel for comps)

    A while back I built a mag fed rifle in 7mm WSM and I've been using it in local precision rifle competitions. The 7WSM is a great round and has nearly optimum ballistics for the limitations of a short action, but it seems to be a bit overkill for the relatively short ranges found in these...

    Superformance/leverevolutiion powder in quickload?

    Does anyone know if these powders can be put into quickload? My version doesn't have them. I have an email in to Hodgdon for detailed specs, but I am not optimistic... Also, the neconos web site doesn't say what the latest version includes.

    Member Link Up Central Texas Hazmat Order Pool?

    I'm just north of austin and I wanted to see if any locals would be interested in pooling an order from Pat's Reloading, or Powder Valley, etc. for powder and primers. There doesn't seem to be many local stores to get reloading supplies so it looks like I'll be doing mail order.

    WSM Case Life?

    How many reloads are people getting with their WSM brass? I've got a couple batches with the heads falling off, and it doesn't seem like I'm getting good life out of them. I sectioned this one and it's pretty clear: I'm only resizing enough to feed nicely from the magazines, and I'm not...

    Gunsmithing Flush-mount bipod rail project.

    I got bored and made a little magnesium insert to install in the front of my laminate stock to keep the bipod mount flush to the bottom of the stock. I wanted to keep the mount out of the way when I'm not using my bipod. I'd like to think this is a multi-purpose rifle and I might not need a...

    My Pierce 7 WSM build, now with a new barrel!

    I'm kind of new here I've been trying something new and different by trying my hand at some DIY gunsmithing to build a multipurpose 7mm WSM rifle that I can hunt with as well as plink steel at 1000+ yds and maybe attend a few F-class matches. I thought I'd share. I don't really have a weight...
